YUSUFIYAH, Iraq — Multi-National Division – Baghdad Soldiers detained 49 suspected terrorists and found three improvised explosive devices during a combat security operation Feb. 16-17 in Quarghuli Village, Iraq, southwest of Baghdad.
Soldiers from the 4th Battalion, 31st Infantry Regiment “Polar Bears,” 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 10th Mountain Division (Light Infantry), the 2nd Battalion, 5th Cavalry Regiment and the 4th Battalion, 4th Brigade, 6th Iraqi Army Division conducted the clearing operation coined as “Operation Polar Iron.”
The two-day operation, which consisted of air and ground assaults, was conducted in order to disrupt anti-Iraqi forces believed to be operating in and around Quarghuli Village, long known as a terrorist safe haven.
During the operation the soldiers received small arms fire, but no one was hurt. The IEDs were detonated during a controlled detonation conducted by an explosive ordnance team.
The suspects were all detained for further questioning.

The MSM only reports IED that go off.
Do not expect this to be reported anywhere.

of course just because we found the suspects with IED's doesn't make them bad... so we should release them and I know they won't do it again.... or we should get 2 trucks out in the desert and make these clowns disappear.....bring along a couple of reporters too. Maybe a print reporter for the NYT and ...uh... a on camera CNN/Al Jazeerah reporter.... and have a little Bermuda triangle action going on Northeast of Baghdad... kind of out of the way.... nobody knows nothing sort of place..
